Photos
We occasionally take photos during our events for use in promotional material. We'll always check if you are happy to have your photo taken. If you are happy to be included in photos we'll ask you to complete a Photo Permission Form in advance of the event.
If you do not wish your photo taken it's no problem - just let the Ranger know.
Children and dogs
Children need to have a parent/guardian in attendance at all events. If an event is for children only, adults will need to book a space on the online booking system. If an event is for the whole family each member of the family attending needs to book a ticket.
Dogs are welcome at the events marked 'dogs on leads welcome'. If you want to bring your dog to an event which doesn't have this indicator you'll need to contact the countryside ranger before booking. Contact details are listed below.

Whitelee clubs
Walking is one of the best ways that we can keep fit and it's fun too!
Join the Whitelee Rangers for a short health walk on the windfarm - stretch your legs, have a natter and maybe even spot some local wildlife. The health walk is on every Tuesday morning from 10am, meeting outside the Whitelee Visitor Centre. The walk is free of charge, and there's no need to book, just turn up.
This health walk covers a distance of up to 2 miles, and lasts 45mins - 1hr at a gentle pace, with a couple of small hills to get the heart-rate up a bit. The walk is suitable for all ages and abilities, and new walkers are always welcome. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short lead for this walk.
For more information contact the Countryside Rangers.
